At Thanksgiving, we celebrate together with our families and friends, and are reminded of all of our blessings. We take so much for granted, because we have so much and so many opportunities in America. For the Roma people, this is not the case because of prejudice and extreme poverty, with very little if any government assistance.
Today on the radio, they were talking about when asked what we are thankful for, the response is usually health, family, job, etc. They suggested that instead of what we are thankful, to think about who are we thankful for.
We are thankful for Rachel Ross, her heart and dedication to the Roma people, the many sacrifices that she and her family make to live and work in Romania. We are thankful for Iza, Rachel's daughter, who is a missionary herself as she loves the children and families in the village. We are thankful for her family here at home, who also make many sacrifices, all to bring others to Christ. We are thankful for the FMN Staff and many volunteers who are working in Romania and for those who work from here raising the awareness and the necessary funding to continue to expand the ministry. Together as a team, lives are being changed, one child at a time, and one family at a time.
Highlights from Christmas in Romania, 2013 to come, along with a message from Rachel Ross, Founder and Director of Forget Me Not Ministries. Until then, have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!
